Bacterioscopy
Definition:
(n.) The application of a knowledge of bacteria for their detection and identification, as in the examination of polluted water.
Example Sentences:

(20) The histological findings confirm the diagnosis, bacterioscopy also provides early results.
Microscopy
Definition:
(n.) The use of the microscope; investigation with the microscope.
Example Sentences:
